In depth

Verdict

NEXIUS has shot up 14lb for a very easy victory at Newcastle but the former German Flat winner is probably capable of defying the extra. Snowed In is up 11lb for his victory over a shorter trip here last time though Craig Nichol's claim will help but Chebsey Beau keeps on finding one or two too good and doesn't look particularly well handicapped. Irish raider Ebazan looks best of the remainder.
